One step closer to Beijing

April

I’ve paid for my air ticket to go to Beijing in August…

wOOt!! woot

I have to say, STA at Curtin is really good! Well, usually anyways. You’ll find that they’re really friendly and efficient, but most importantly, they help get you the best prices (well… if you’re a student meH ).
This makes it feel more real! I love how excited I get just dreaming about when I’m going, planning on that I’ll see or do and thinking about what to pack or not plot !

So what are my travel plans?

I’ll be flying out on the 26th August, Sunday, to spend about a week in KL with relatives.
Then I’ll be flying out from KL to Beijing on the 1st Sept (red eye flight )!
I might travel around China during my stay… But unfortunately, China doesn’t have many holidays :no: They don’t really celebrate Christmas or Calendar New Year …
Planning to go someplace after the semester ends but before I fly back home…
I’ll fly back to KL after CNY (7th Feb 2008!) on the 9th Feb
Stay one night in KL (transit)
And fly home on the 10th Feb

Don’t ask me about the accomodation, don’t ask me if the school has even accepted me, don’t ask me about where I’ll find food, don’t ask me because I have no idea! I’ve only been focusing on getting a ticket and that’s it

Other things I need to do:

Book my accomodation
See if BLCU (Beijing Language and Culture University) has accepted my application
Check out what kind of insurance I need to get (at the cheapest price!) … it’s not really a big deal though
Renew my drivers license (it’s due in September!)
Renew my Dental Hygiene registration (due in December) … I should also check on my Hygiene insurance & membership details
Find out what I’m meant to do in regards to voting … There’s an election coming up in October?
Organise how I’ll handle my finances (credit/debit card, travellers cheques?)
Buy a security cable & power adapter for my lappy!
Plan what to pack (winter clothes etc)
Plan what to buy
Get my scholarship $
Fly out~!
Buy a simcard in Beijing
Get access to the internet!
